4 Early riser veterans and 1 newbie hit the trails at the reasonable hour of 0400. Conditions were perfect – 60 degrees and low humidity. Double Mint and Vinny took off for Breakfast Club at Tredegar while Offshore, Sally, and YHC did the Belle Isle loop and back on Buttermilk. Belle Isle and Buttermilk were lit up with blue trail lights from the RIC-WMBUG race on Friday night making for a nice touch. No flashing blue lights of the other variety, trails were all ours. Offshore is close to finishing his Summer Tour this week and maybe setting a record…

A massive crowd of beach cruisers, dirt bikes, and steel framed roadies “older than me” descended upon Mary Munford this morning (38 in total). A couple ran, most rode. Directions were given to Wedding Singer, who was the most seasoned F3 vet at the time that there was in fact no runner Q and that they would be on their own for routes this morning. I laid out the route to the hoards of cyclists that we would be heading down to the Carillon in the safest way I could think of for a lap or two around the lake…
5 super studs trekked to Timberwolf this morning without knowing who would be the QIC. Shakedown quickly took charge and started off a hot potato. Shakedown led a mosey to the tennis courts for a warmup… SSHs, Helicopters, DQs, Russian Soldiers, Merkins, and maybe an ab exercise. Next, Shakedown took the PAX to a grassy hill (a first for YHC) behind the basketball court for 11s. At the base of the hill, WWIIs. Bear Crawl to the top for Squats. Shakedown called an audible after round 1 – Jump Squats at the top instead. Shakedown passed the potato to YHC. …
